What happened to Tom Waits’ Rain Dogs?

What happened to the Tom Waits album Rain Dogs? My phone keeps saying it’s not available in my region. It’s been like this for over a week now, and I can’t figure out why. The rest of Tom Waits’ music is still available.

Hey jacklandis,


If we understand correctly, there is an album that is no longer available. There are a couple things you can try that may be able to help. We would recommend you read these articles for more information.


  • "Artists and content providers might change or remove music from the Apple Music catalog. Search Apple Music to see if that song is available under a different name or file. If it is, add the song to your library so it's no longer grayed out.
  • The song might not be available in your country or region and will appear in gray text when you search for it in Apple Music."


If your songs are grayed out


Change your Apple ID country or region


Please don't hesitate to let us know if the steps resolved your issue or if you need additional assistance.


Thank you for using Apple Support Communities. Have a good one.
